Street Fighter D&D 5E: Ibuki

If you dig this please comment or share it about or like it or what have you, check out last week’s character (Cody!), and if you think this can be improved in any way don’t hesitate to speak up (@MikeMyler2 on Twitter, over here on Facebook, and also on Google+) and let me know!

Requests have poured in so we’ve got a bit of a queue worked up—Ibuki, Dan, Abel, T. Hawk, and Necali are on the way. After that though who gets built can be up to you so tell me what to make in a comment somewhere!

PS: If you are down for some evil D&D 5E, the Book of Exalted Darkness Kickstarter is 3/4th funded by more than 100 backers and has 2 downloadable PDFs on the project page. Even if you aren’t down for being evil, we’re just a dozen or so pledges from unlocking the do-gooder supplement! Check it out–worst case scenario you’ve got a free evil adventure module and some vile character options for a rainy day of malevolence in the future. 😀

Ibuki’s speed increases by 10 feet, when she uses the Dash action difficult terrain doesn’t cost her extra movement on that turn, and when she makes a melee attack against a creature she doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn (whether she hits or not).Martial Arts. Ibuki can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of her unarmed strikes and monk weapons, and she rolls a 1d4 in place of the normal damage of her unarmed strike or monk weapons. In addition, when Ibuki uses the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on her turn, she can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.Ninjutsu Adept.

Ibuki’s unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d8 piercing damage, she gains advantage on Acrobatics checks, checks and saves to avoid the prone condition, and creatures are at disadvantage to resist her attempts to grant them the prone condition.Unarmored Defense. While she isn’t wearing any armor, Ibuki’s Armor Class equals 10 + her Dexterity modifier + her Wisdom modifier + her martial arts stance.Unarmed Savant.

REACTIONSUncanny Dodge. When an attacker that Ibuki can see hits her with an attack, she can use her reaction to halve the attack’s damage against her.

Notes on Ibuki’s Design

I have been out of the fighting video game loop for a while so was not familiar with Ibuki but when I found out she was a kunai throwing ninja I was like “YES! I HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY!” Mists of Akuma folks–this is what a baddie 15th level ninja looks like! 😀
